A Seagull has Flown Through the Storm after 10 Years’ Injustice in Prison

At the time He Haiou was prisoned,he was only 29 years old.

10 years later, when he was released,he was already a middle-aged man.

On July 20, 14 years ago, the Chinese Communist Party(CCP), lead by the Jiang Zemin regime, outrageously beganthe persecution of Falun Gong practitioners,a group of peaceful people cultivating a tranquil practice.

Lives of hundreds of millions of Falun Gong practitionersacross the country have been changed overnight since then.

Falun Gong practitioner He Haiou (which means seagullin Chinese), was a physician employed by the hospital of Chongqing Steel Company.Due to his firm belief in Falun Gong, he was expelledfrom the hospital and downgraded to a doorman.Later on, he was sentenced to as many as 10 years.

At the time He Haiou was prisoned,he was only 29 years old.10 years later, when he was released,he was already a middle-aged man.

On the morning of October 4, 2000, the mountain cityof Chongqing was shaken by tens of thousands of Falun Gong truth flyers.

That was the time when the CCP persecutedFalun Gong practitioners most rampantly.The flyers distributed in Chongqing even drewthe attention from the CCP senior authority.Ten Falun Gong practitioners were arrestedduring this event, including 29-year-old He Haiou.

Just like his name, He Haiou’s temper is mild and merciful.

In 1996, he started practicing Falun Gong, as his brotherintroduced this cultivation practice to him.

Nonetheless, the persecution storm came too soon.In July, 1999, the CCP began cracking down on Falun Gong.In order to tell people the truth of Falun Gong, He Haiouparticipated in the printing of tens of thousands of flyers,which were later were distributed all over Chongqing.

Soon after, He Haiou was sentenced to as many as10 years and jailed in Chongqing Prison.In the prison, he fully lost his freedomand was closely monitored.

He Haiou:”Sometimes, the number of people assignedto watch me was as many as 9.At least three people kept a close eye on me.They had three shifts and monitored me 24 hours a day.Every word I said and every movement I madehad to follow their ‘rule.’Even when I slept, a person sat in front of my bedand watched me.”

Besides the physical torture, another form of persecutionis mental torture.He Haiou also experienced brainwashingunder severe pressure and in an isolating environment.For tens of hours continuously, he was forced toread books and watch videos defaming Falun Gong.

He Haiou: “Every single day, what I couldhear and see were those vicious lies.”

The prison police call this mental torture,“torture in a gentle way.”

He Haiou: “At the time, I felt that it’s up to my limitand I was about to fall apart. Even my thinking wasn’t normal.When I tried to think about what my parents look like,I couldn’t even remember.”

During 10 years, or 3,650 days, continuous mental torturehad been lynching a person’s will.

He Haiou:”Even if you knew it’s 10 years, not a whole life,but you felt that it was as long as a whole life in such an evil,high-pressure, and isolating environment.You felt that it was endless.”

He Haiou was on hunger strikes many times againstthe endless persecution.

When He Haiou had to worry about his own survival,he still utilized all possible opportunities to tell thosemajor criminal offenders about how to be a good personby following “truthfulness, compassion and endurance.”He believes that the three words “truthfulness, compassionand endurance”can wake up people’s consciences.

He Haiou:”I will never forget this scene.

A major criminal offender held my hands and said,‘now I understand all you’ve told me.One day when I get onto the same path as you,I will never forget you are my guider.’At the moment, my tears streamed out.
